Tool Rest Package on sale

[GetterDone]

I really like the Free shipping from SS now.
I probably would not have bought this if I would have had to pay for Shipping.

Does anyone have this set?

Does anyone have this set?

Yeah, I have it. WHY is the image at that link so horrible? Is the Shopsmith website running on an 8-bit computer???

I have the 3 Specialty Tool Rests. I got mine with the Universal Lathe Tool Rest as part of the All-Inclusive Lathe Tool Rest Package.

As a side note I often see "used" Specialty Tool Rests for sale on eBay that end up costing more than you can buy them new from Shopsmith.

Just one of those examples as to why you should always check Shopsmith prices on current items or parts before buying used. Many sellers put their "like new" or used parts for sale just under the new price from Shopsmith. Add in the shipping and their total price becomes higher. Then there are those sellers that have no clue what the actual value is of what they are selling.

The price is established by the ancient laws of "Supply and Demand". If you don't want it bad enough to pay that price don't buy it.

Incidentally, it works that way in the real world too. Check the prices of items on your daily shopping list.

As a Machinist, I want to put 3 in One oil on them.

But as a Guy that enjoys Working with Wood

What do y'all suggest?

Maybe Brake Cleaner and then floor wax?
